Suffering from the sufferer
by: David on Tue, Feb 10 2009

February of 08 my wife of five plus years just up and left. I had no warning. When we talked she told me she loved me and wanted to stay married. She said she just needed time. She had said she was unhappy and had been for an entire year. I didn’t know it, she never said a thing.

Over the last year she has been moody and very mean at times. I have asked her to seek professional help on several occasions but she does nothing.

My wife also has hypothyroidism. During her time away I learned that depression can be a by-product of hypothyroidism. By chance she was told by her physician to consult with an Endrochonologist. When she did he found that her serotonin levels were low. He told her to take an over-the-counter supplement. (Sorry don’t know the name) As of Feb 09 there is no significant change.

It is difficult to deal with someone who won’t seek help. We date regularly but obviously that’s not marriage. I’m not exactly sure what to do and I have no one who can help intervene. My hope is that someone will have advice for me.
